The girls of the Run’to-Everything family were the most useless of all. Their mother thought they could enjoy them- selves only when they were going some place, and, motherJike, she worked herself half to death to let them go some place. The result was that they knew nothing and could do nothing. Their character- istics were small talk, an inane giggle, and a weakness in the upper story that would make it rather dangerous for them to come into the vicinity of an idiot asylum anywhere near the time that a female patient had escaped. One of the worst things about the habit of running to everything is that it makes a family cheap, and oheapness hurts a family as much as anything on this side of dowmight wickedâ€" ness. A young man who rates himself cheap need never be surprised if his employer rates him in the fame way. A young woman who rates herself cheap need not wonder if her neighbors take hr at her own valuation, or perhaps a trifle lower. There is nothing, we repeat, on this side ofimmarality that will oheapen I family or an individual faster than running to every kind of a meeting. every kind of an entertainment, every kind of a show that can be got up ina country village. .. . ... .1 Old Mrs. Run-to-Everything ie the best member of the family. Had she gotten anything like a square chance she would have made an excellent wiie. Married to a moving clod, ehe soon became discour- ___‘_ 1" v 3:" uy‘flfiintn {and};er The good woman made two serious mie- takes, and these mistakes were made at critical points. The first was in marrying a. lazy man, and the second in allowing her children to contract the habit of running to everything when they were young. 01‘ course it would not be easy for her to keep her children at home when their father set such an PXBmple before them, but she did not try. Like many another mistaken mamma, she thought that the only way for the children to enjoy theeelvee was to go Iome place. The possibility of having a good time at home never occurred to her. Her children grew up to think that they could be happy only when they were on the fun. They ran. To them life was worth living only when there was some place to go to every night. Their home was a kind of half-way house in which they rested be- tween rune. Billy Run-to-Everything, the eldest. son, was not a. bad kind of a fellow in his way. In his boyhood the village was small and there was almost nothing to run to, and he did not contract the habit so badly as the younger members of the family. With a good training, Bill might have become a useful young man, but it is impossible for anything useful to grow up in a Run-to- Everything family. The younger boy a put in their time by running from school undto everything that came along, from Barnum’s circus down to the last dog fight. Shows of all kinds, matches of all kinds, noes of all kinds. Crowds of all kinds were always and every where patronized by the boys of this family. The boys soon became about as useless as their father. Old Mr. Run-to-Everything is not a bad old man in the sense of being vicious. In fact he has not energy enough, or brains enough, to do anything brilliant for the devil. His strong points are loafing in public places and talking to little knots of people about affairs. He is always found in Court, especially the Police Court. He attends council meetings, and meetings of all kinds regularly. Next day his chief employment consists in addressing other citizens on the points discussed at last night’s meeting. Nothing pleases him so much as to gathers. little crowd around him and have a discussion about affairs of State. The old man has always had a weakness for taking care of the Empire. Indeed he has been known to devote his whole time to public affairs when his wife was unable to leave her room and the chil- dren had the measles: So devoted a public servant is old Mr. Run-to‘Everything that he would go to a political meeting or an indignation meeting on the Jesuit question if his wife were seriously ill and there was not a bite to eat in the house or a stick to put in the stove. Snoh devotion to public duty deserves a soundâ€"kicking. Positively considered. the principal ch er- eoieristic of the Run~to-Everything family is that they run to something every evenin) and often during the day. You may always count on seeing them at everything that is free. The Salvation Army supplied a long- telt went to these people. Now they can go to the barracks every night when there is nothing else to go to. Heretofore they Were not sure of it place of resort for every evening except when special services were going on in some of the churches. Negatively considered, the Run-to. Everything family are noted for not liking their home. Like Sam Jones, they hate a. quiet time. It kills the members of this family to stay long on one spot, especiain if that spot is around home. They cannot read. Thinking is an exercise never known in the family. They have nothing to think with. Their conversation consists of a few common-places about the last thing they were at, or the next place they are going to. “ One over the number," replied the new comer, coolly. “ You must come out, air; the train’s going on.” And without waiting for fur- ther txplanslion the guard pulled out the aggrieVed passenger, who was left wildly gesxioul Ming on the platform. The Run-to- Everything Family. (By Knoxoniun.) The Run-to-Everything family may be found in nearly every village and small town in Ontario, but they are found in the largest numbers in phmes populated by the third or fourth generation of Canadians. Far be it from us to say that anybody should shut himself up and live the life of a. hermit. That is the other extreme. Between running to everything and going to nothing there is a golden mean, as there always is between extremes. At this sm- eon of the yearjudicious families will, as :l'ar as practicable, arrange for giving a cer- tain number of evenings each week to church duties, a certain number to social duties, and as many as possible to home pleasures and mental improvement. Public men will find any arrangement very (infli- cult, but \he effort, yes, even the desire, to make such an arrangement will do them good. A course of reading for the Winter should be included in every plan.

Suiting the action to the word, the ag- grieved passenger roee and, putting his head out of the window, vooiferouely sum- moned the guard.

HE TURNED THE TABLES. Murder and Suicide in a Public Garden in _. ,,...._â€"_ aucuumi. 0n the morning of the 20th ult. Mr. George Todd, marine inspector, visited l addlehill Gardens, there“ to look after his plot. While there he looked into the sum- mer house and was horrified to see the dead bodies of a man and a woman. An alarm was at once given, and the police appeared on the Scene, when the body of the man was fuin identified as that of Andrew S, Walker, eon of Mr. Walker, coal merchant, and the female was recognimd as Miss Holmes, a young woman who resided with her father. John Holmes, joiner, on Mearns street. The pair, who were regarded as sweethearts, were seen entering the gardens on the previous evening, and the traged had been enacted soon after, as when found the bodies had the appearance of having been dead for several hours. The girl was found lying on her back on a seat in the summer house with a bullet mark through the left side of her head. Walker was on his knees, dead, on the floor, with his left arm lying upon the seat and his right hand rusting upon her breast In his right hand was a s3x-ohambered revolver, two of the chambers being empty. He had shot himself In the mouth the bullet passing out through the back of the head. There ap- peared to have been no struggle, and from the position of the bodies it was evident that Miss Holmes had been first shot and afterwards laid upon the seat, with some- thing in the shape of a pillow below her head. On committing the awful deed, which was probably done immediately out- side the summer-house, and after laying her on the seat, Walker would seem to have gone outside and gathered some flowers and then neatly arranged them over her breast. This must have occupied some little time, and when that is con- sidered it is evident that the deed had been premeditated. Be this as it may, Walker, as stated above, dropped on his knees be- side the lifeless body of his sweet-heart and shot himself in the mouth with the revolver. Both of the young people .were Sabbath School teachers, and were much beloved by all who knew them. What led to the tragedy cannot be even guessed at in Greenock. The Kind of Scarfs and Ties that Should be Worn. There is one undisputed axiom of fashion Here it is: A man evinces taste or the lack of it more forcibly in the choosing of his neck scarfs than in any other regard hav- ing to do with fine dressing as an art. Two treacherous elements enter into the con- sideration of the caseâ€"form and color. The shape of a scarf is mainly determined by the skill of the designer, and except in England, where Lord Boston or the Duke of Portland, or that exemplar of fashion incarnate, the Prince himself. determines upon some radical departure from beaten paths, it is largely an affair of convention, ; subject only to the usual venial modifica- tion of style. Color is everything. The scarf is the one item of apparel that admits of it. It punctuaies ard vivifies the entire costume, and is faultless and bean- tiful in proportion to the degree with which the devil of undue gayety and the deep sea. of insipidity are avoided in its selection. The wearer’s complexion is a matter of first importance. Men whose lead the rest of mankind followâ€"- most of them without as much as suspect- ing itâ€"have laid down certain precepts on the point which have acquired the force of inviolable lawa. For example, says a writer in the Post~Dispatch, a man with swarthy featurts and black eyes should always wear a scarf of distinctive hue-â€" say, black, deep blue, oxblood, red, maroon, violet, and kindred shades. Whether the scarf is illuminated with figures or not, the predominating tone should be pronounced. On the other hand, blonde men should avoid deep colors, restricting their choice to vague and uncompromising tintsâ€"such as pale blue, light pink, and the various blendings that produce gayer and more buoyant effects. Persons of neutral com~ plexion and gray eyes should exercise the utmost care and precaution in the se- lection cf neckwear. The character and color of one‘s garments exert an- other decided influence which cannot be ignored. If a man dresses in drab or deep black he should never, unless when in mourning, or when wearing a vest opening unusually side, displayinga big area of white shirt front, wear a plain, black or somber scarf. To do so would produce a. grewsomo ensemble. The safer rule, it is agreed, is to seek a becoming. contrast beâ€" tween the tone of the garments and the predominant hue of the scarf. There are men, however, who appear Well dressed and who never affect any other color than black from head to foot. In the case of elderly gentlemen, especially if belonging to one of the learned professions, this ixception is considered allowable, but at the same time the effect is exceedingly inartistic from the . point of view of the man of fashion. The i need for vivacious eflect in neokwear this ‘ season is thought to be greater than ever, owing to the popularity of the cutaway and sack coats.

ANeW Orleans deepatch of Thursday night says: The steamer Corona, of the Ouachila Consolidated Line, left here at 7 30laet evening for the Ouaohita River, with a full cargo of freight and a good list of passengers. She exploded her boilers at False River, nearly opposite Port Hudson, at 11.45 this morning, causing the loss of the eteamer and about forty lives. The Anchor Line steamer City of St. Louis, «aptain James O‘Neil, was near by, and her crew and boats saved many lives. The surviving passengers and crew were taken on board by Captain O'Neil and kindly cared for. The following were lost, as far as known: Crewâ€"J. W. Blanks, captain; J. V.

Mrs. Delnsxudr, opened the parcel, htl‘ husband being in bed. Her little girl, seeing the content-s, followed her about the house begging for a taste, bun her mother, feeling some buSpiclcn which she is not yet able to acuounu tor, refused to give her any. The suspicions seem to how been shared by her huuoand, who took the package to the analyiat who still has it. but declines to give any information. Mr. Deinstadt says he noticed an incision in one of the candles. It, occurred to him that. some person, annoyed at his plain speaking, may have taken a fancy to give mm a. dose of physio, or some such thing. He had no thought of murder. A third parcel of the same character, ad- dressed iu the same hand, was delivered to Rev. Mr. Desoyree, of St. John Episcopal Church. This clergyman had no auspi- cions. He opened the package, and noting cgplgnte. concluded Am ,]u in by for gpme Pnseengeraâ€"Dr. Atwell, corn doctor, and four negro musicians; MLScotb, Smith- land, Ls. ; Mr. Davis, stock man, Texas ; Mr. Koenich; Mrs. Huff, of Opeloueas; Mrs. Kuuflman’s nurse and eldest child. About twenty of the crew and about fifteen passengers were saved. The Corona was on her first; trip of the season, and had but recemly come out of the dry dock, Where she received repairs announcing to nearly $12,000. She was built at Wheeling, W.Va., several years ago, and had a carry- ing capaoiny of 2.700 bales of cotton. She was valued at $20,000. A last Thursday night’s St John, N.B., despatch says : Yesterday’s special deâ€" spatch to the Empire told of the terribly sudden dearh of Mrs. McRae, wife of the eminent Presbyterian clergyman in this city. Events which have since some to light excite horrible suspicion, pointing to afoul and most cowardly murder. The facts, as ascertained up to this time, are these : Yesterday morning the mail carrier delivered at the house a small. neatly wrapped parcel addressed to Rev. Dr. Mo. Rae. The doctor was absent at Piotou, and Mrs. McRae opened the parcel, which contained a few gum drops and other candy. It was after eating a few of these that she was seized with convulsions. Dr. Christie, who lives directly across the street, was called at once. She had two spasms after that, and was dead in two minutes. The rigidity of the muscles and sudden contraction so impressed the doctor that when a little later he met the family physician he told him that he would call it a case of strychnine poisoning if the circum- stances oould possibly admit of it. The other physician went home, when shortly afterward he was visited by young McRae, who had discovered the candy and brought with him what remained. The parcel was immediately placed in the hands of the Government analyst, who found one piece covored with strychnine crystals. Drs. Christie and McLaren notified the coronerI who at once ordered a post mor- tem. The body was examined ac- cordingly and portions of the stomach and other organs preserved for analysis. The inquest has been adjourned until Mon- day. Mianwhile Solicitor-General Pugsley is making inquiry into the case. On the same morning when the parcel was de- livered to Mrs. McRae, one of the same character was received from the postman A Chicago deapatoh of Wednesday says ; Judge Baker to-day issued a writ; of habene corpus, returnable to-morrow. rtqnuing the State’s Attorney to show cause Why Frank Woodrnff, one of the Cronin prison- ers, should not. be released on bail.

He was elected to Parliament in 1886 With- out opposition as a Conservative, in spite of his unwillingness, on account of blind- ness, to bee. candidate. A short time ago he sprained his ankle and was compelled to take to his bed. He was attacked with other ailments and became mentally de- pressed, though none of his friends ima- gined he was not in his right mind. He was a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, London. In 1882 he became chairman of the Brighton Conservative Association. He was knighted last year. He was a man of considerable means as Well as ability. with an axe after he had am rendered his weapon.

A Baltimore despatoh says: The par- ticulars of the riot at Navassa, September 14th, have been received by the Nevassa Phosphate Go. from Acting-Superintend- ent l). G. Smith. On the morning of the 14th the negroes rose in insurrection and killed fonr officers, Thomas A. Foster, Joseph Fales, James Mahon, and William '1‘. Shoe. The motive of the negroes is un- known, and no warning or intimation of such a thing was given. Mr. Roby was first assaulted in the diggings and hit on the head with clubs until left for dead. He was found in a rock hole under a lot of boards. Lie was removed to the house. and took part in the battle Wilh the blacks after having thirty stitches taken in his scalp. :He is recovering. At noon the men con- gregated in front of the Superintendent’s house and refused to work. When Mr. Jones, by direction of Assistant Superinâ€" tendent Smith, attempted to arrest one of ‘ the ringleaders and take a pistol from him which had been taken from Mr. Roby, he was knocked down, and in a few seconds a howling mob surrounded him. He managed to get to the house where the other officers had sought shelter, through volleys of rocks and other missiles. The whites took refuge in the upper story of the superintendent’s house and opened fire on the mob, which threw stonss 11110 the houso from every direction and shot at any one in sight. The battle lasted three hours,with an occasional negro wounded, when the whites were startled by the explosion of a dynamite bomb which had been thrown on the lower porch. This was soon followed by another, until there wasa continual roar of dynamite. The Degrees were sheltered behind oars, trees, tanks and buildings. Shortly after 4 p.111. the negroes broke into the dynamite maga- zine snd got a fresh supply of explosives. Knowing that the negroes intended to blow them into eternity the whites left the house and endeavored to reach the officers’ quarters and make another stand, but they had not got twenty feet before the negroes attacked them with axes, knives, rocks, razors and clubs, uttering fiendish yells. each man was soon overtaken and dis armed.

A Berlin despatch says : An uneasy feel- ing seems to prevail in Austrian official circles, it being feared that the Chancellor is about to make a new move by offering to assist in restoring Russian dominance in Bulgaria, as an inducement to draw the Czar from a French alliance. Prince Bis- marck is suspected of playing a double game. It is thought that on the one hand he will threaten the Czar with a movement looking to the firm establishment of Bulâ€" garian independence, while on the other he willofifer an entente based cna proposal that Russia shall have a freer hand to deal with Bulgaria and intervene in Armenia. It is certain that if the Czar received Prince Bismarok‘s proposals coldly, the recognition of Prince Ferdinand by the Porte, the powers forming the triple alli< anoe, and England will be the immediate consequence. The Sultan has already agreed to recognize Prince Ferdinand, and only awaits the visit of Emperor William before issuing a formal proclamation ID that effect. It is reported Emperor Wil- liam will remain two weeks at the Turkish capital. He will be accompanied by Count Herbert Bismarck. The length of the Emperor’s visit is attributed to an inten- tion to inquire intothe condition of the Turkish army and to test the statement of German officers that the Porto is still able to maintain a standing army of 400,000. The Czar in Constant Terror of Plots Against Ills Person. A Berlin cable says : Official telegrams say the Czar will start for Berlin next Thursday. Mr. Schirinkine. Chief of the Czsr’s secret police, passed through Berlin today on his way to Kiel. He is accom- panied by the inspector of Imperial trains. The Czar’s special train, once owned by the Empress Eugenie, lies at the station here, having come from Wirbsllen. There are swarms of Russian police here, at Kiel, and at the stations along the pro- posed route. Russian troops line the rails from Wirballen to Moscow. The precau- tions taken for excel those on the occasion of the former visit of the Czar, and are due to his intense fears of an attempt upon his life. The Czarina. leaves Copenhagen October 12th for Konigsberg, rejoining the Czar at some point on the homeward journey. Only Court Minister Worontzow Daachcff, and Aides-de-Comp Gens. Tehe- reins and Richter will accompany the Czar. The Czar will accord Prince Bis- marck an interview. The Czar will pass 48 hours between Potsdam and Berlin. Nothing is expected to result from his meeting with Bismarck. 'lne Moscow newspapers ridicule the idea that the Czar will accept any conciliatory overtures, unless they are wellbacked by solid con- cessions. have any measures been taken to meet an outbreak of hosilitie s. The resources of the Government are already sufficiently strong to provide for the country's security. Far from warlike enterprise being contem- plated, the Grrmanophile party at court has renewed its endeavors to bring about a friendly understanding between Germany and Russia, and the hope is enterained that the Czar s coming meeting with Emperor William and Prince Bismarck will lead to a rapprochement between the two countries, The Russian National pan-y, however, is trying to neutralize these facts through the dominant official influences, and is also making an enegetio campaign in the Slavo- phile newspapers. flow the Game of Simeon-aft; la Playedby ' Continental Powers.
